Zero Days, by Ruth Ware

When Jack’s husband is killed in what appears to be a meticulous hit man job, she becomes the prime suspect and goes on the run to get at the truth.

This book is exactly what it purports to be: an action movie in novel form. Predictable in a comfortable way, nonstop fast pace, not super believable, fun all the way through. TBH, I doubt I’ll even remember the book in a month. However, as someone overwhelmed by foster kittens, record-breaking heat, and a hip injury, I’m not complaining about a book that I could escape into the same way that I can by binging Law & Order episodes. I enjoyed the book for it being exactly what a suspense novel should be. (And for not having last-chapter/epilogue “twists” – I’m really glad these kinds of novels are moving away from that trope!)
